Default apexi ecu problem

hey guys. Jumped in my car just then and the car was fine then after going over some railway tracks the car shuddered and felt like it was choking, the check engine light flashed. So i pulled over to check it out and noticed the hand controller wasn't on. Idle is a shit. My guess is the ecu reset itself or something. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks guys.

The bumps could have caused the ecu to become partially disconected, like a loose connection. Rip the passenger kick panel off and make sure everything is still plugged in. That'd explain your hand controller not being on.

Would the knock sensor cause the ecu hand controller to turn off.

Due to the crap hard suspension im leaning towards maybe a connection come loose.

Will check it tonight.

I know when I first put a Z32 mated up to my PFC the plug on the back of the AFM was loose, used to shudder through hard corners. Could be similar thing.
